Bit of a clunk ,any ideas ?

mikee · Aug 6, 2013

Was out for a wee blast tonight , I came out of a roundabout ,accelerated ,went thru the flickflack and as is settled to go round the Lh turn there was a sort of clunk felt as if it came thru the rear RH side
It sort of felt like the chain jumping a tooth or the rear wheel moving , I got home and had a look see , but found nothing , wheels tight , chain tension seems fine , wheel and swinging arm bearings have no discernible play
Suspension linkage looks okay , tho I will investigate that a bit more

So anyone any ideas on what's causing it ?

Thanks
Mike

Check the 5 nuts that hold the rear sprocket/cush drive pins....they have a tendency to work loose.

Yes, it's worth getting some loctite on them.
